Rebekah Vardy pens column for highbrow magazine after Wagatha Christie rival Coleen Rooney covered Vogue
HER nemesis Coleen Rooney recently appeared on the cover of fashion bible, Vogue.
Now Rebekah Vardy has once again had her say - writing for highbrow politics and culture magazine, The Spectator.
The wife of Leicester striker Jamie insists she has moved on from the infamous Wagatha Christie battle - describing it as a “waste of time and energy”.
The 41-year-old, who recently filmed a documentary on the Jehovah’s Witnesses for Channel 4, has also opened up about the cult’s horror at her “worldly” marriage to the footballer.
She writes: “I never expected to lead a life so heavily documented by the tabloids, or to be invited to compete on shows like Dancing on Ice.
“I certainly didn’t expect what became known as the ‘Wagatha Christie’ trial. If you care, you’ll know the details.

“If you don’t, I’ll spare you: thinking about it is a total waste of time and energy. All I’ll say is that I know the truth, as do many others. Anyway I’ve had more than my fair share of limelight over the years.”
Becky’s comments come two months after Coleen, married to former England star Wayne, hit out in Vogue.
It came almost four years after the start of the pair’s acrimonious Wagatha battle when Coleen went onto Twitter to accuse her one-time friend of selling stories to The Sun; a claim Becky has always denied.
The duo ended up in court after Rebekah unsuccessful sued her for libel- and ended up having to pay almost £2mn in legal fees.

Opening up about her time in the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Becky details how she was banned from celebrating Christmas as it was deemed “worldly; that is to say a bad thing”.
She revealed that Jamie now insists the family celebrate with SIX Christmas trees in their home in rebellion.
She adds: “Ex-JWs can go a bit over the top with the festivities, making up for all the years lost.
“I go big on decorations, but not really on presents. The way I see it, the most precious gift is time spent with family.”
